I am 27 years old and still chasing my ball dreams. I came across your channel, very powerful and encouraging. I am following this journey. All the best my brother.
I’m about to be a freshman Dakota, *5’11*, your workouts I’ve been copying since the old vlog videos. everything you’ve taught in your video has shaped me into receiving a D1 offer from unv. Of Wisconsin, unv. Of Arizona, unv. Of oreganon thank you so much for everything man❤
Dakota you’re a huge inspiration for me. I’m a 5’10 13 year old who’s the team captain and PG for my 8th grade team. My dream is to go D1 and you’re helping me a lot. I watch all your vids. You’re a big inspiration for me man
Yow Dakota just letting you know you also got fans in South Africa 🇿🇦, what your doing is amazing work.... I've learned so much from your workouts to your basketball journey. I started playing Basketball this year February I'm a 6'2 small forward it's been tough but I get motivated by your videos and I'm disciplined 💪🏾🏀
man, im 11th grader from a small town from Russia and u motivate me to move toward by increasing my athletism and other basketball skills. I want to say you that u are moving to the right direction and you will become the best nba player ever.
Hey Dakota, I'm a 5'6 12 yr/o 7th grader and I would like to thank you so much for inspiring me, I'm a self-thought player that picked up basketball not more than a year ago, currently I'm a starter with only 4 ppg but you inspire me to do the work and train myself harder so tysm. My dream is to play D1 basketball and from there make it to the NBA.
Dakota you inspired me so much back then I was 16 and I wanted to make the nba and you inspired me to keep going and now I’m starting in my high school team I’ve gotten way taller from 6’1 to 6’6 and I think it’s because of my dedication and the confidence that you gave me and I just want to say thank and I’m wondering what should I do when I graduate high school where should I go where should I start? I just want to say thank you🙏 because you gave me the confidence to keep on going❤
Love the video bro. You’ve really inspired me to keep grinding to get a D1 offer. I started playing basketball 2 years ago (I’m 17) and I’ve worked hard enough to compete with high level highschool prospects. I hope I can make it before highschool is over.
I'm a freshman in college that goes to Syracuse university and always dreamed of playing college basketball. i am going to try out my sophomore year and I can say you have really help me to not give up and thank you for that
I know I’m really late, but currently 14 going into 9th grade next year. But we have similar things going for us. I’m currently 6’2-6’3 and I went from C-team 3rd string to B-team 2nd string. Averaging 0 in everything to 4 pts, 10 rebounds, 15 assist, and 3 blocks. now I’m doing vertical training, while playing AAU and practicing everyday
Thanks bro I have been studying basketball and being a greater player and am still young at 15 but am getting closer to my dreams and watching your videos helps inspire me and get myself that much better thanks for really cool videos love your effort in editing I did video edits and I can tell you work really hard on your videos and being a greater person everyday keep grinding 🏀🍳🔥
I’m a 12th grader and had my acl torn months ago, I only have 3 months to condition myself for college and hopefully I get to be picked for the varsity team. Your videos really are an inspiration for me to grind my way to become a great player 🙌🏼
I followed ur home workout routine and I got so much better since then.I’m 6”1 and being 14 and Irish that gives me an advantage but with the workout I got stronger so I got better in the paint and I can shoot from deeper now
Crazy I just started hooping last year but i new that i loved it within the first month have been averaging 10/6/1 your video's helped me improved so much keep dropping bangers! hope you break that record :)
i started hoopin at 12, I immediately started training hard, i just turned 15 a week ago, I'm about 5'9, i think I will be around 6'2 or 6'3 because my dad is 6'2 and all the guys in my family hit late growth spurts. I have improved so much and become a much better scorer, i'm hoping to go d1 one day.
Do not let height be a determinant factor for you to pursue a basketball career. You will definitely grow taller, but with the height you already have, you only need to become more skilled than the rest of the competition. Good luck
@@nicolasgains thank you, and of course, I have been working really hard, getting up to train before school, after school, now i have summer holidays and i've been working out everyday tryna make it happen
@@Kungi112 That's great news to hear, If you are that commited then it's just a matter of time. Also, remember that sleep is important as it will allow you to learn skills, drills& coordinate easier. Try to be consistent with the time you go to sleep and the time you wake up(get 9 hrs of actual sleep and not just going to bed assuming you Will instantly sleep). Happy holidays
I'm 15 years old and im 5'7 i might get to 5'9 or 5'10 beacuse of my dad. My hopes on getting in D1 went down after i realized i wasn't going to be tall enough. Even like that you're a big inspiration for me to do what i can even when everybody is taller than me
Dakota you inspire me a lot and I dream of being a d1 and i train every week to get there and 8th grade going into high school next years hopefully i do good
Dakota, I’m a 14 year old and I started practicing at 12. I want to play D1 for a college like Mizzou, Clemson, OKS, schools like that. You have given me so much confidence to keep going. I’m a 5’6-5’7 8th grader and I play PG. If you don’t mind me asking, why did you pick FGCU over schools like. Clemson, Georgia, and Kansas State
Im 14 in 8th grade and i had 30 points this season in middle school, i averaged a 16 point double double with ur help thanks so much also my one problem is i play at a really small school how can i get eyes from colleges as a person who goes to a small school
Hi Dakota, I was wondering if you could post a video about the stretches you do before dunks or basketball I tore my muscle because I was jumping to touch the rime( dunk ) and I don’t want it to happen again so if you could please make a video or reply with some it would be great
can u make a video on ball handling and conditioning drills....pls hear my request .....cause i follow your videos only for improving my craft...love from india
Yo Dakota for my middle school you gotta play AAU to make it but I’m from “that” side of town and it’s hard to play AAU for me like what I’m posed to do I need some advice, you think that you need to play AAU to play high level basketball
im 16 im unathletic im a average shooter and im short and i crumble under pressure im holding onto the last slither of hope to see if working on my body gets me anywhere i just might quit it i dont think im built for this
Hi Dakota!I have a question,you think i can play college basketball with no history of playing lower division basketball.The reason is that in my city there is no basketball club/team.What do you think?
I don’t know if it’s a myth but apparently like 50% of boys stop growing in height at 16… muscle growth continues several years later but 16 is the limit for boys and 14 for girls. My pediatrician said 18 but idk. As for if lifting stunts growth, it can if you injure your spine or compress it in some way.
Yes it can bro. If you want body strength do calistenics and for legs do plyometrics with your own body weight. These can help you a lot and you will improve your vertical also. You can use dumbells for squads.
Thank you so much for this video I’m 14 years old and like 5’11 or 5’10. I hope one day I became profesional and go to ACB league because I’m from Spain. I’ve improved so much since I was hardly training, actually I hoope every day and hard training. I wish results come soon because my coach don’t really believe on me and I just average from 8 to 14 mins per game. Coach don’t let me to shoot opens shots and also to play 1v1. As soon I fuck up on d he quites me from the game. And I think I pm not bad.
Yo Dakota I'm 14 and I just started playing basketball a year ago , right now I'm 5 "10.5 and I'm looking to make a career out of it. I'm actually decent but I see so many people my age or younger who are better than me < What should I do?

Hey, I wanna know how I should condition my body
Can deadlifts stunt my growth, I'm talking abt lightweight lifts for strength and explosiveness (I'm 6'0" just turned 16)
I don’t know if it’s a myth but apparently like 50% of boys stop growing in height at 16… muscle growth continues several years later but 16 is the limit for boys and 14 for girls. My pediatrician said 18 but idk. As for if lifting stunts growth, it can if you injure your spine or compress it in some way.
Yes it can bro. If you want body strength do calistenics and for legs do plyometrics with your own body weight. These can help you a lot and you will improve your vertical also.
You can use dumbells for squads.
